Thread: Reinforcements Plundered?

  1. #1

    Default Reinforcements Plundered?

    Now, I had heard that transports have been plundered. I have also read that sending troops along would prevent this...

    However, I was sending 50,000 archers, that is 50k archers about about 1.5 million food to an ally to help defend from an attack, and not only was half the food stolen... HALF MY ARCHERS WERE KILLED. Yes, 24 thousand and some change archers were killed.

    W...t...f.

    edit:

    To clarify, I was not 'transporting' these things to my ally. I was 'reinforcing' him due to pending attack.

    The difference between the two player's prestige level, was too great.

    I'm wondering if they should just do away with alliances, and each man (woman) fends for themselves. That way this won't be an issue anymore

    I can only tell you this: it is not a bug. It is a function that has been with Evony since the beginning of time.
    It's a good tactic IMO

    The person I was defending had a higher prestige than me.

    But regardless, Im completely ok with my resources getting plundered, but just to have half my troops arbitrarilly KOd?

    That doesnt seem right.

    Sending troops doesnt prevent such things and as such you just therw away a bunch of troops for nothing. Most people report losing far more than half their troops, so count yourself lucky.

    The troops were the whole point of the reinforcement. Otherwise I would have used transport? I just sent some food with them so they woudnt be such a burden.

    Don't worry. Your troops didn't die in vain. If there are half of them left, that means you have killed at least 30k-40k of the enemy's archers.
    Problem is, you sent food with your troops, so when they died before reaching the city, your food is lost. Simple as that.

    I'm not sure why they're so reluctant to give us a threshold for robbery - it seems pretty consistent if I repeatedly send to the same person so I don't think it has any random factor involved. It seems that to the Evony devs not telling us specifics and keeping us guessing equates to randomness.

    In any case it's a huge pain now that people are crossing into the millions on server 4 and I'm at 300k and therefore lose almost half my reinforcements sending/receiving to/from the larger players in my alliance.

    Wow man, I've reinforced so many people without looking at their prestige and have not lost anything.

    Whether a mechanic that's been in since the dawn of Evony time or not, I really don't care for this.

    I'm totally against it.
